not the team you support, which other team would you not object to seeing do well

I'd like to see Aston Villa do well - when I was a kid, me and my best mate had a joke Wednesday vs. Villa rivalry back when they were both top flight teams this season. i dunno, this kind of helped instil a sense of affection towards them for some reason. for ages, i guess, they were a bit of a nondescript club (a bit like, say, boro are now) but i like the look of them this season.

they've got a manager who's probably mt favourite in the division, not just for his approach but also because he was the best thing on the BBC during Euro 2008, i like his wit and attitude and general aura of geek. Villa play football that's sporadically fantastic when Young and Agbonlahor are firing on all cylinders and stuff. and that's the other thing. look at their squad on Wikipedia - only EIGHT players in the first team squad aren't from the British Isles, it might be a weakness through a lack of quality but i can't help but warm to them
